Instrumentation and experimental hygrothermal investigations of a raw compressed earth brick house in Sense-City equipment: From material to building scaleDataverse by Julien Waeytens, Myriam Duc, Yan Ulanowski, Laurent Ibos, Thibaut Colinart, Hadi Nasser, Mostafa Mortada, Hamza Allam, Abderrahim Boudenne, Nicolas Dujardin, Kamel Zibouche, Etienne Gourlay, Jean-Pierre Monchau, Fionn McGregor

“…After the instrumentation and practical techniques for the placement of temperature and humidity sensors in the walls and of heat flux sensors on wall surfaces for long-term monitoring were presented, an experimental analysis of the sensor outputs was carried out. Although the low wall thermal resistance was estimated at 0.34 m2.K.W-1 via the ISO 9869-1 standard method, the CEB hygroscopic wall had the abilities to regulate the indoor temperature and humidity and dampen and delay hot outdoor temperatures during summer heat waves. …”

SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance using self-collected saliva specimens during occupational testing programs by Andrew T. Schnaubelt, David M. Brett-Major, Janet Williamson, Bailey Barcal, Julie Carstens, Ashley Peer, Michael Wiley, M. Jana Broadhurst

“…Virus RNA sequencing successfully determined the variant strain in 83 and 67% of SARS-CoV-2-positive saliva samples collected in two program settings, demonstrating the successful integration of SARS-CoV-2 sequencing for variant determination into screening programs in occupational settings using self-collected saliva with an extraction-free qRT-PCR testing method. We further demonstrate that the sensitivity and efficiency of variant analysis is dependent on the PCR cycle threshold (Ct) cutoff of the diagnostic assay virus gene target. …”
